But I note that you still refer to versions on each platform as a "port", which was my point entirely. There is no such thing as "a VxWorks port". There is a 68K VxWorks port, a PPC VxWorks port, etc. What I would need is a PC-clone VxWorks port, which I note isn't in your list. So no, I really wasn't that wrong at all. -- T.E.D. -----== Posted via Deja News, The Leader in Internet Discussion ==----- http://www.dejanews.com/rg_mkgrp.xp Create Your Own Free Member Forum
